ACCORDING 10 the GOVERNOR OIL Virginia, the
farmers of that State are in bad way. They
have less money, he says, than at any time since
the surrender at AppOmattox Court House.
This Is rather striking testimony against the
Democratic State and National Adminlstra-
tons. No wonder there ere signs OF political
upheaval in the Old Dominion.
The strikers are evidently growing weaker
In this city, SO far as their ability to delay bust
ness is concerned, and they are not apparently
making much progress toward securing the
submission of their demands to arbitration
This would have been the proper and sensible
way to settle the matter in the beginning, but
It looks as though it might be too late now to
hope for the success Of such an effort
The Republicans of Pennsylvania are wise
in redeeming their promise to submit to vote
Ut the people proposed prOhibitOry amend
ment to the State Constitution. The lower
house of the Legislature passed the joint roso-
luton yesterday by a vote of $50 to GO. 1t
now goes to the Governor, who has already
declared in favor of it. If a majority OF the
people of Pennsylvania DOW want prohibition
they can have it. But if the Third Party Pro-
hibitionists had succeeded in electinga Demo-
cratic Governor at the last election, as they
tried to do, the submission of such an amend
ment would have been indefinitely postponed
If there is any failure in Congress tn pro-
vide for the National defence the responsibility
will rest entirely ON the Democratic majority
in the House. The Senate bills we're referred
yesterday to committee, but before this has

would place it in the power of Randall, Holman
and the other members of that committee to
prevent action on the bills. The Democrats
insisted on making the reference, which prob
ably means the defeat Of the bills, this COM
mittee has been the means Of preventing such
legislation heretofore. 1t is pity, but while
the Democrats control the House there seems
no help for it.
There is nothing unusual in the Third Party
Prohibitionists and liquor dealers working
together in opposing a practical temperance
measure as they did yesterday in Albany. But
this opposition ought not to have any effect on
the Legislature. Tie spectacle of the liquor
dealers opposing the high license bill, on the
ground that it will increase drunkenness, is too
absurd for consideration. But It is not more
absurd than the argument of the Third Party
men that there should be no license-either
free rum or prohibition. The high license bill
IL practical step toward greater restraint on
the traffic and It's results, and it will also in
crease taxation where it ought to DO increased.
The Legislature will make great mistake In
defeating 1t.

on the Quaker Bridge Dam project will be well
coined by the public. Hence the talk of re-
sort to the courts to prevent the Aqueduct
Commissioners from going ahead with the
work may result in good. If the dam does

A Crazy Old Hunter.

Col. Bob Patterson, who has just re.
turned from a sojourn in the Sierras,
brings news that Abe Richie, the old
mountain trapper, has gone crazy and
has been sent to Stockton. Abe was
well known to all old Comstockers.
Some years ago he came TO this city
quite frequently with the dressed skins
of foxes and other an mails, queer
stuffed beasts and queer yarns. He had
complete suit OF furs. in which he
WAS wont to parade the streets, to the
delight OF the rising generation and the
amusement of our ladies' Of fashion.
AS Abe was his own tailor, when dress
ed in his ill-fitted and angular su he
looked not unlike Rob son Crusoe.
He aud r. NJ. Daggett had great
scheme for the requirement Of large
share of the filthy lucre floating about
in the world. which was nothing less
than the starting of fox ranch up in
the high S erras. somewhere near the
Calaveras Big Tree Grove. They were
gong into the breeding of silver gray
foxes. They would get about $50 for
each skin. With a stub Of n pencil. and
small bit of paper Mr.. Daggett could
easily show that there were millions in
fox ranch. But Daggett was appoint
ed Minister to the Hawaiian islands
and went away. leaving the arithmetic.
